Smut for Healing
The feminist intimacy course
…because What If the "Guilty Pleasure" You've Been Apologizing For Is Actually the Blueprint for Your Personal Revolution?
Welcome to smut for healing…
A 4-week live course on using romance and fantasy novels as fuel for healing, growth, and creating the life you actually want—in a world that keeps telling you to want less.
You've been told your whole life that romance novels are escapism.
Guilty pleasures. Brain candy. Something to apologize for or hide.
But here's what I know—and what you've probably sensed all along:
The stories you're drawn to aren't distractions from your real life. They're blueprints for it.
Those heroines who refuse to shrink?
Who claim their desires unapologetically?
Who burn down systems that don't serve them and build new worlds in the ashes?
They're not fantasy.
They're showing you what's possible.
And in a political landscape that's actively trying to make you smaller, quieter, more compliant—your "smut" might be the most subversive, healing, revolutionary act you can engage in.
WElcome to smut for healing.
Romance and fantasy novels aren't just entertainment
They're also:
so why are we still apologizing for loving them?
I get it—we've been taught to dismiss our desires as frivolous.
To feel guilty for the hours you spend in worlds where women get to want things, choose things, BE things that feel impossible in real life.
What if you stopped apologizing and started paying attention?
What if the energy you feel when you read—that aliveness, that hunger, that sense of possibility—isn't meant to stay on the page?
What if it's meant to fuel real-world transformation?
What if novels are dangerous in the best possible way?
Could this be your missing puzzle piece?
Introducing
smut for healing
This 4-week live course goes deep into the literary, feminist, and personal growth power of romance and fantasy novels—and teaches you how to harness that energy to create actual shifts in your life and community.
This isn't a recorded course you do alone.
This is live, intimate, transformative work with:
🔥 Four 90-minute live sessions on Zoom (Tuesday nights in January, 4 weeks in a row)
🔥 Real-time teaching + live coaching (bring your questions, your blocks, your breakthroughs)
🔥 A community of readers who understand that your reading habit is actually a healing practice
🔥 Recordings of all sessions (if you can't attend live or want to revisit)
🔥 A gorgeously designed workbook to capture your journey
This is for the readers who are ready to stop treating their desires like guilty pleasures—and start treating them like the revolutionary force they are.
Let’s take a look at what’s inside
↓
week one
romance as rebellion
Learn the hidden history of romance novels and why they've always been feminist texts (even when we didn't call them that). We'll explore how romance teaches power dynamics, consent, and agency—and why the world wants you to dismiss these stories.
week 2
your body knows
Discover how literature aids in somatic healing and helps you reconnect with desires you've been taught to suppress. We'll work with the aliveness you feel when you read and learn to trust your body's responses as wisdom.
week 3
blueprints for a different world
Fantasy and romance don't just imagine better relationships—they imagine better WORLDS. We'll uncover how the stories you love are showing you what you actually want (in relationships, work, community, life) and how to start building it.
week 4
from the page to the real world
This is where inner transformation meets outer change. We'll focus on translating the energy and momentum you've created in this course into tangible shifts in your life and community. You'll leave with a roadmap for living your own revolutionary story.
Because the stories you love aren't teaching you to escape your life. They're teaching you to reclaim it.
This is for women who are ready to stop treating their desires like guilty pleasures—and start treating them like the revolutionary force they are.

in a world that's actively trying to make you smaller…
That wants you compliant, quiet, grateful for scraps—
That tells you wanting more is selfish and your desires are dangerous—
Your romance novels are acts of resistance.
They remind you that you deserve pleasure. That your desires matter. That the world can be different.
And when you learn to harness that energy—to let it fuel real change instead of just escaping into it—everything shifts.
This course teaches you how.
customer testimonials
I love the experience brought by a certified intimacy coach to speak directly to vulnerabilities without making anyone feel unsafe. Loved the energy and loved the vibes!
What I got from this course was freedom. I thought I wanted to be in touch with my anger, but I really wanted to be safe, empowered, connected, embraced, and cherished. This course was unexpected in a good way.
This was such a memorable experience. The untethered and "rebellious" take on a delicate subject has definitely sparked my curiosity. I'm intrigued by smut in a new way!
We start in January
Your romance novels have been waiting for you to take them seriously.
They've been showing you who you could be, what you could want, how the world could look different.
Four weeks. Live coaching. Deep transformation.
It's time to stop escaping into those stories—and start living them.
Your guilty pleasure is about to become your greatest teacher
